Permaculture Talk at the Thomaston Public Library

Monday, June 25 at 6:30pm

 

Jesse Watson of Midcoast Permaculture Design will be giving a presentation at the Thomaston Public Library on permaculture and design. Permaculture is a design system and set of techniques for creating resilient human habitats and healthy ecosystems.  It is modeled on ecological principles and covers a wide range of design areas including food production, shelter, energy, water, wellness, community, culture and economics.  In this presentation we will talk about some of the ethics, principles, strategies and techniques and discuss the importance and potential of permaculture’s design-based solutions in today’s world of economic, energy and environmental uncertainties. 

Jesse Watson is a certified permaculture designer.  In 2009 he started a permaculture landscape design/build and sustainability consultation firm in the Midcoast area, serving residential, business and institutional clients.  He attempts to integrate regenerative landscape design, traditional folk skills, sustainable economics, technological and cultural innovation into his design practice.  Jesse brings an artist’s paintbrush, a philosopher’s pedantry, a tracker’s attention to detail and a holy fool’s comedic relief to the company he keeps.  He lives with his young family in Rockland.

This presentation is at the Thomaston Public Library located inside the Thomaston Academy building on 60 Main St. in Thomaston. Public parking and library doors are located behind the Academy. Contact us to find out more: 207-354-2453 or tpl@thomaston.lib.me.us
